One final question before Turkey Day- does anyone know of a good, recent article about group dynamics that I could use for my tutor training? I am struggling to find a relevant
article that is accessible enough for my Level III tutors.
Thanks, everyone.

Hello again.
Here is what our AT Specialist thinks:
We provide Kurzweil 3000 for our students who utilize the ASAC for support. We like that it can be managed online as well as has a desktop and application. The
online management system allows us to also track usage which we feel is very helpful. The ability to save documents to a Universal Library or connect it to a drop box or G drive is extremely helpful for our students. It is also very helpful for our students
who struggle with the writing process, especially with their templates/visual organizer.
The one problem we have is sometimes the web application does not work. Also, they do a lot of updates which can be a hindrance for our students using this software
for testing purposes.
I hope this helps.

Folks
I had heard about Kurzwell when I took over the Learning Support Services part of the ARC but did not know what it was. I just learned more from a past student who uses it in his classrooms.
I am wondering if anyone uses it on their campuses and the pros and cons of it.
There seems to be a cloud based version of it which may work for our System. We have 10 campus and 3 extension campuses across MI and if we could buy one account and share that would be a cost
savings.
Any thoughts? Has anyone tried to share an account across campuses?
Thanks for you input & Happy Thanksgiving
Cynthia
